Abstract

Abstract In extremely dynamic sectors, whose structure is not so evident, both the approach based on the Structure-Conduct-Performance paradigm and the approach based on firm resources are limited to explain the sources of competitive advantages and the performance achieved by firms from their strategic choices. In this context, by focusing on the firm's adjustment to changes in highly dynamic environments, as well on the firm’s facing challenges posed by volatile sectors, through integration, reconfiguration, renovation and allocation of its resources, skills and capabilities, the perspective of dynamic capabilities comes out as a promising approach to strategy studies not only to understand the sources of firm’s sustainable advantages, but also to comprehend how such advantages are developed and implemented. The article consists of a theoretical essay that analyzes the concept of dynamic capabilities from the main definitions collected in the literature, by carrying out a conclusive synthesis and arguing about consulted theoretical contributions. The authors propose a theoretical model for the relationship among dynamic capabilities dimensions in order to explain how firms achieve and sustain competitive advantage, and also present the sense-making as a fundamental capacity for improving the effectiveness of other dynamic capabilities, serving as unifying element among them and favoring the alignment of the firm’s strategic choices.

动态能力维度在竞争优势构建中的关系:一个概念模型

在结构不太明显的极端动态行业中，基于结构-行为-绩效范式的研究方法和基于企业资源的研究方法在解释竞争优势的来源和企业通过战略选择获得的绩效方面都受到了限制。在这种背景下，通过对企业资源、技能和能力的整合、重新配置、改造和配置，关注企业在高度动态环境中对变化的调整，以及企业面临的不稳定部门带来的挑战，动态能力的视角成为战略研究的一种很有前途的方法，不仅可以理解企业可持续优势的来源，还要了解这些优势是如何开发和实现的。本文由一篇理论文章组成，从文献中收集的主要定义出发，对动态能力的概念进行了分析，并对参考的理论贡献进行了结论性的综合和论证。作者提出了动态能力维度之间关系的理论模型，以解释企业如何获得和保持竞争优势，并将意义构建作为提高其他动态能力有效性的基本能力，作为统一其他动态能力之间的要素，有利于企业战略选择的一致性。

期刊介绍： Gestão & Produção is a journal published four times a year year (March, June, September and December) by the Departamento de Engenharia de Produção (DEP) of Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar). The first issue of Gestão & Produção was published in April, 1994. Actually, G&P was result of experience of professors of DEP/UFSCar in editing, in the beginning, "Cadernos DEP" in the 1980s, followed by "Cadernos de Engenharia de Produção". The last three issues of "Cadernos de Engenharia de Produção" were a test previous to the launch of Gestão & Produção because most of the journal characteristics were already established, like regularity.
